Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear Poskilani: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Community Portal
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How to edit a page
 * How to revert to a previous version of a page
 * Tutorial
 * Copyrights
 * Shortcuts

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~&#126;). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! Mr Stephen 22:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

AfD Nomination: Daniel Sosa
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem to me that Daniel Sosa meets these criteria, I have started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Daniel Sosa. Don't forget to add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, an administrator will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. Mr Stephen 22:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --Alan Au 01:51, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Ricky rohaidy
A tag has been placed on Ricky rohaidy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Fogster 21:15, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Please, PLEASE do not remove speedy delete tags from articles you created. If you disagree with the nomination, please explain why using the procedure explained on the tag, and in my message above. J Milburn 20:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid that we cannot use text with the permission you describe at Talk:Mary Machado. The author would have to release the text into the public domain under the GFDL, which allows the work to be "edited mercilessly" - few authors are prepared to do this.  Also, as a member of the family you have a conflict of interest and should not edit the article directly, although if an independent editor does create an article you are welcome to suggest changes on Talk.   You can request an article by citing the sources at Requested articles, if you state that you are a family member and thus can't create the article yourself then someone may well be prepared to help out. Meanwhile, Wikipedia has one and a half million articles, about 90% of which could use some work, so please do click Special:Random and be bold in fixing some of them up :-) Guy (Help!) 20:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
